RDB$NULL_FLAG does the trick. But, when setting it to 0 or NULL, the
constraint in rdb$relation_constraints and rdb$check_constraints doesn't get
dropped automagically... Is this as expected or not?

Those inconsistencies are expected as you are observing a constraints system
mounted over an older constraints system, same as the SQL security model was
mounted over the GDML, ACL-based security model. It would be nice to clean
the house a bit. Maybe you coud fill a request for enhancent at SF.
